Results of my unscientific study

Every day at the gym I hear people use the restroom and then not wash their hands.  After many days of this, I thought I would do a study on how many this actually occured with.  I discovered that 2 out of every 3 people did not wash their hands.  GROSS!  If people want to … Continue reading →

Texas Forever

So I just finished the last episode of the Friday Night Lights series.  Although it was sort of predictable, I’m a sap for happy endings so was content with the finish. I have no idea where I was when this show was on television, but it is pretty clear to see how it had such … Continue reading →

First outdoor winter concert at Red Rocks

I was delayed a day in posting because my fingers have just now thawed out from an evening spent at Red Rocks.  Icelantic put on the first winter concert there and it was awesome!  Mr. Coles and I prepared by putting on about 27 layers of clothing, holding thousands of packets of hand warmers and … Continue reading →

Just because we need another reason to be lazy

There is a new iPhone app out called “Viggle” that gives you rewards for watching TV.  Once you accumulate 7,500 points, you get gift cards for different retail places.  Could be good for networks to get more viewers on their shows, but wow – as if Americans need more reasons to sit around and do … Continue reading →

Vote ’em out!

A poll just came out in the WSJ indicating that if given the option, 56% of Americans would vote “Yes” if their ballot included an option to remove everyone in Congress.  Yay!  Finally!  I will gladly volunteer for this political movement! One of the commenters said this was a silly idea because there is no … Continue reading →

Google thinks I’m a man

So I came across a little tidbit today where you can see what/who Google thinks you are based on your search activity.  Click this link to check yours out.  Apparently I’m between 25-34 (true) and a man (not true).  It says I most often search for music, tv and running/exercise.  I guess these are not … Continue reading →

Why I want to be a Major League Baseball Player

So Prince Fielder and Tim Linsecum just got much much richer.  Linsecum got basically $20M per year for the next two years – if you take his stats from 2011, that is close to $90,000 per strikeout and $600,000 per game started…what?  He is going to be able to support his pot habit for many … Continue reading →

Burn Calories Not Electricity

I read this interesting article this AM.  It seems that the sign is making quite a difference for folks in NYC as more people choose to take the stairs than ride the elevator when they see it.  I like it, maybe it will catch on in other places.  I make myself trudge up and down … Continue reading →

Romney’s tax records

So I’m pretty dense when it comes to most things ‘politics’, but why in the world is everyone in such a tizzy over Romney’s tax returns?  What is everyone so concerned about seeing?  I mean he’s an incredibly rich out of touch politician…aren’t they all?  And yes, he pays a lower tax rate than most … Continue reading →

Kelly Kapowski’s Birthday!

So today is Kelly Kapowski’s Birthday.  I’m not sure how I should celebrate given the fact I still haven’t forgiven her for breaking Zack’s heart for that college loser Jeff.  She got what she deserved when she caught him dancing at The Attic with another girl.  I guess all ended well though when Zack and … Continue reading →
